Abstract
Competency-based education teaching practice is a priority area, but there is limited research analyzing the education process of holistically developing competency-based through active learning in science. The objectives of this research were (1) to investigate the practical conditions, problems, and needs of proactive competency-based science learning management among teachers in Lop Buri, Saraburi, and Singburi provinces; and (2) to propose approaches for teacher development for competency-based science learning management. Questionnaires was research instrument to collect data from a sample of 310 teachers at primary and lower secondary schools. Results indicated that (1) the sample had a high practical level, needed to develop proactive competency-based science learning management, and had a moderate level of problems. The findings revealed that teachers implemented proactive competency-based science learning management; however, they still needed development approach for improved practice. (2) The appropriate science teacher development approaches aim to clarify three areas of scientific competence through an inquiry-oriented process. Various teacher development procedures consisted of teachers acting as learners, collaborative group strategy, reflection in action, explaining concepts, and learning theories behind learning management behavior.
